Gravity's Rainbow is one my faves, but it requires some dedication. Crying of Lot 49 is his Portrait of the Artist, in terms of accessibility.

I've tried Gravity's Rainbow a couple of times now and just haven't been able to get through more than 40 or 50 pages of it. Read the Crying of Lot 49 and loved it though. One of these days I'll read all of Gravity's Rainbow...

I struggled through GR, but I don't recommend it. Gems in there, but it's a damn hard slog.
"V" is similarly cryptic, but for some reason I enjoyed that quite a lot; it's probably half as long as GR.
